I got a $68,000 electric bill a couple of years back. That was for one month and the result of one too many zeros.
One too many zeroes??? I'd hope it was for three too many zeroes (unless you keep a supercolliding superconductor in your basement and turn it on for recreation).
Where I come from, the sewer outflow is not monitered. The water bill is multiplied by some factor and that is the sewer bill.
Do they really moniter sewer outflow in other parts of the country on a house by house basis?
